Schumer looks to force vote to repeal increased tariffs on Canada
WESTERN NEW YORK, AUG 5 – Schumer aims to repeal tariffs causing a nearly 20% drop in Canadian visitors and costing Western New York businesses and tourism thousands of jobs, officials say.
- On Tuesday in Niagara Falls, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pledged to force a Senate vote to repeal the increased tariffs on Canada when the Senate reconvenes in September.
- Last week, Trump escalated tariffs to 35%, following earlier this year’s 25% duty on Canadian imports.
- Cross-Border traffic records indicate that the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge saw 114,672 Canada-bound vehicles and 134,169 U.S.-bound ones this July, down from last year.
- Schumer warns that Artpark in Lewiston anticipates losing 60% of its Canadian visitors, costing up to $150,000, due to tariffs, said Schumer.
- Despite Schumer's push, the initiative faces resistance in Congress, with a similar bipartisan effort failing in April after House Republicans refused support.
